How do vision quests, river locations, and warriors relate to
indigenous activism? For the Aguaruna, an ethnic group at the
forefront of Peru's Amazonian Movement, incorporating practices and
values they define as customary allows them to shape their own
experience as modern indigenous subjects. As Shane Greene reveals,
this customization centers on the complex articulation of
meaningful social practices, cultural logics, and the political
economy of specialized production and consumption.
Following decades of engagement with and resistance to
state-mandated missionary education, land-titling, and
international advocacy networks, the Aguaruna have faced numerous
constraints in pursuit of their own political projects. Based on
first-hand fieldwork, "Customizing Indigeneity" provides a new
theoretical language for the politics of indigeneity. Documenting
the dynamic between historical constraints and cultural creativity,
this work provides a fresh perspective on indigenous people's
agency within evolving structures of inequality, while
simultaneously challenging common assumptions about scholarly
engagement with marginalized populations.
